A good little husband

The next day, Suiyu was woken up by the noise outside. Early in the morning, many people gathered in Lin Muqing's not-so-big main room. Suiyu didn't want to join in the fun, so she lay on the bed with the quilt in her arms for a long time. It's just that the quilt is full of Lin Muqing's breath, attacking all of Suiyu's senses.

Lin Wanxia also came here early in the morning. According to the past, Lin Muqing had to work all night, and he must not be in good spirits the next day. He thought he could come here earlier to help.

It's just that things were different from what he had imagined, Lin Muqing was sitting energetically, next to the broken silver that was neatly arranged.

"Uncle Qian, here, this is yours. Ten taels and five coins, plus a sling of copper coins." Lin Muqing crossed out the names that had already received dividends one by one. He never felt that this was a particularly easy thing to do.

"Brother Qing, we'll be leaving for a while, can I talk to you?" Lin Wanxia stood in front of Lin Muqing, saw the neatly written rough paper in front of him, and finally wrote what she wrote with her hands behind her back. Things were clenched into a ball and put behind him.

Lin Muqing knew what he wanted to say, and nodded silently.

Everyone was smiling after leaving the Lin family, and everyone made an appointment to go down the mountain tomorrow to buy something for the elderly, daughter-in-law, husband, and children at home.

"Brother Qing." Lin Wanxia's eyes were very red, as if she had cried last night.

Lin Muqing glanced at him and said nothing, waiting for his next words.

"I know the ins and outs. It's because I didn't teach Xiaoqiu well." Lin Wanxia thought about it and said, "I'll bring him here today and apologize to that..."

"His name is Suiyu."

"I'll bring Xiaoqiu here later, and apologize to Suiyu." Lin Wanxia bit her lip, looking at Lin Muqing with a bit of aggrieved eyes.

Lin Muqing looked ahead, without a trace of eyes falling on Lin Wanxia: "Then you go back first, Suiyu didn't eat the morning meal, I have to cook for him."

"Brother Qing." Lin Wanxia's call stuck in her throat, and before she could utter the words, Lin Muqing strode out the door and only waved to him.

In fact, Suiyu was not very hungry. In this small bedroom, he found Lin Muqing and used the leftover rough paper to draw the distant mountains and sunset that he saw on the way back that day, but the painting was only black and white. , no tint.

"I didn't eat rice today, so I steamed a bowl of egg custard to fill your stomach first, and I'll cook something delicious for you later." Lin Muqing brought a bowl of egg custard with finely minced meat on it, and the custard was smooth and tender , the meat is not greasy, and the shallots are fragrant. After taking a bite, Suiyu felt that the custard slid down his tongue, leaving only a fragrance in his mouth.

He raised his head and clicked on the colorless picture of distant mountains and sunset on the table: "This picture is for you."

Lin Muqing looked at this piece of paper, bent his fingers and touched it: "Are you really giving it to me?" He is a rough man, and he doesn't know much about these poems and paintings, but it's Suiyu's drawing, so he can't figure it out. feel good-looking.

Suiyu nodded: "I've been here for so long, and I haven't given you anything in return."

"What return do you want to talk about with your man?" Lin Muqing tapped his head again, "If you like painting, I will buy you some paper and paints next time you go down the mountain for you to paint."

Suiyu still remembered the last time he went down the mountain with Lin Muqing and said he wanted to buy pens and ink for Lin Hua, Lin Muqing refused him without hesitation.

"Why did you disagree when I asked you to buy pens and paper for Lin Hua last time?" Suiyu thought it was a matter of money, but now it seems that it is not.

"It's good that he can read a few words. Do you want him to take the No. [-] Scholar Examination?" Lin Muqing put away the rough paper on the table, and put it into his pile of ledgers when the ink was dry.

"Is there anything wrong?" Suiyu raised his head, "He is very smart."

"Have you forgotten where this place is? Lin Hua has such a background, who will guarantee him?" Lin Muqing didn't want to hit Suiyu, but still hoped that he could see the reality clearly, "Okay, don't mention this, hurry up finish eating."

Suiyu just looked at him like that.

After a long time, Lin Muqing sighed softly: "Got it." After speaking, he remembered something, took out a purse from his cuff, and Suiyu saw at a glance that it was Chunniang's handicraft, with a cluster of green bamboo embroidered on it .

"This is for you." There were a few pieces of silver in the purse.

Suiyu looked at him, and when he took the purse, his index finger accidentally touched the palm of Lin Muqing's palm, and touched the thick callus in the palm of his hand, he withdrew his hand suddenly: "Why do you give me this?"

"You helped too. You deserve it." There was no smile on his face, and his tone of voice was not as gentle as usual, as if something suddenly stood between the two of them.

Suiyu finally put the purse into her bosom, before she could say anything, she heard the cries of children outside the door, and louder voices.

Lin Wanxia saw Lin Muqing and Suiyu walking out of the room side by side, and suddenly didn't know what to say, Lin Wanqiu who was walking beside him cried loudly, tears streaming down like beads.

"I brought Xiaoqiu to apologize to Suiyu."

There were many people behind him who came to see the excitement. Lin Wanqiu cried all the way, reminding everyone of what happened that night, and they all wanted to see how Lin Muqing would deal with his new and old loves.

Suiyu only felt his scalp tingling, he looked at Lin Wanxia, ​​the first time he met his eyes, he obviously could not be so motivating, he could do it privately, but he insisted on letting the whole village watch the fun, Suiyu's refusal to forgive was due to his lack of generosity, and he forgave him for his inner conflict.

Lin Wanqiu was pulled over by Lin Wanxia, ​​and she knelt down in front of Suiyu in a daze: "Brother Suiyu, I was wrong, I shouldn't have lured you to the back mountain on purpose, and I shouldn't have looked for you knowing you were in danger. Someone will save you."

Suiyu just watched him cry so coldly, without expressing his opinion.Lin Wanqiu's head was lowered, from Suiyu's angle, he could see that there was still resentment in his eyes.

Lin Wanxia bit her lips: "It's because I didn't teach him well. I know this is a matter of life and death. I just beg you to see that he is still young and don't care about it like him."

The people in the village were more familiar with Lin Wanxia than those who followed Yu. Hearing what he said, they all felt pity when they thought of the old days of the two brothers.

"Yeah, it's not easy for the two brothers, so you can forgive them."

"Xiaoqiu is just a child, he will change in the future."

"After all, you have nothing to do, so forgive him."

They all said such words, Suiyu's lips curled into a smile, but the smile was uglier than the crying: "Yeah, I'm glad I'm not dead, and I won't have what happened today gone."

Lin Wanqiu came to him to apologize for being wronged. Wouldn't he be wronged when he almost died?

"Suiyu." Lin Muqing frowned upon hearing Suiyu's words, "Don't say such unlucky things."

Suiyu turned his head to look at him, and then turned his eyes to Lin Wanqiu: "Am I not right? If I die, if you have a heart, wrap me up in a straw mat and bury me. If you don't, let me die." It doesn't matter if I die in the mouth of the beast, how can I make him humiliate and apologize."

Lin Wanxia's face was green and white, and he also knelt in front of Suiyu under Suiyu's words: "I know, Xiaoqiu has made a heinous mistake, you should be angry, how do you want to punish?" It doesn't matter to him, as long as you can calm down, we can all accept it."

Suiyu's eyes were still on Lin Muqing, and she was expressionless when she heard Lin Wanxia's words. Anyway, they just needed a word of forgiveness from Suiyu, and it was enough for Suiyu to say it: "Okay, I forgive you, you can leave ?"

He said this against his will, and everyone can see it.

Lin Wanxia knelt on the spot, hearing Xiaoqiu's crying and the whispering voices of the people around her. He looked at Lin Muqing with begging eyes, and found that Lin Muqing was staring at Suiyu.He got the answer he wanted, but he was still embarrassed.

Lin Muqing watched the two brothers leave, and thought of Lin Wanqiu's attitude towards Suiyu today, pinching his brows, it seems that Lin Wanqiu still can't stay in the village, but where should he be sent?He was thinking of a way to deal with Suiyu and Lin Wanqiu properly, but ignored the gradually dimming light in Suiyu's eyes.

After Suiyu finished speaking, he returned to the room without looking back. After the door was closed tightly, he leaned against the door, and the tears that he had been holding back did not fall. He cried silently, and the closed room The door is like a safe haven for him, keeping all the noise out.

The noise outside gradually dissipated, Suiyu sat on the ground leaning against the door, and his belief in leaving became stronger. He was always an outsider here, and he had to go back to his elder brother and sister to have a home.

There was a knock on the door behind him, it was not Lin Muqing, but Chunniang.Suiyu wiped away her tears, took another deep breath before opening the door: "Mother."

"Crying?" Chun Niang took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped away the wet tears on his face, "I know you were wronged."

Suiyu's dying appearance that day was always remembered in her heart, and she knew that Lin Wanxia and Lin Wanqiu could not untie Suiyu's knots by crying.She could also know that what Lin Wanxia did today was to force Suiyu to forgive Lin Wanqiu under the eyes of everyone.

Suiyu supported her and let her sit at the simple table, which had been cleaned up, and Lin Muqing had taken away all the dishes, leaving only a little greasy light on the table.

"The two brothers are also pitiful. There was a great famine a few years ago. There were many refugees in Yunxi who had to go all the way north to escape. He, an older brother, had to protect his younger brother and protect his brother under such difficult living conditions. When Ah Qing saved him, he just handed Xiaoqiu into Ah Qing's arms and said that he must save his younger brother."

Suiyu didn't speak, just looked down at Chunniang's handkerchief in his hand, Chunniang seemed to like green bamboo very much, almost all purse handkerchiefs were embroidered with green bamboo.

Suiyu shook his head, feeling even more disgusted with Lin Wanxia's senses. Chunniang had nothing wrong with her, but she still wanted to apologize to herself for him. Now he said something more sincere than before: "It's okay, If you saved me, you will count as one life for one life."
